Depending on the style of blinds you've purchased, specific maintenance solutions may vary.

Some simple blind maintenance tips include:

• Light dusting once a week to keep your blinds clean. A feather duster or a vacuum cleaner with appropriate brush attachments are suitable.

• Opening the louvers to one direction, dust it, reverse the direction and dust again.

• If you find stains on your fabric blinds, gently wipe the stain with a damp cloth that has been thoroughly squeezed out.
